About Academics

American Semester Program & Exchanges students are seen as fully integrated MSU students. While our summer programs are topic and theme based, semester students are able to choose courses from a large catalog of offerings.

American Semester Program & Exchanges students are able to choose from a wide variety of course offerings through nearly all academic colleges at MSU. Students normally take between 12-15 credit hours per semester (undergraduate), allowing them to expand their academic interests, and have new, unique experiences.

We currently offer topics in English as a Second Language, Film, Education, Big Data, Social Media for Business, Sciences, and Law- but we are always adding more! Courses are designed as 3 US Credits and our partners in Europe and Australia have accepted them as 6 ECTS - it is your responsibility to find out if you can transfer your ASP Short Course back to your home university for credit.
